How will my students
benefit from the program?
NSLP plans to demonstrate that students who benefit from
financial literacy programming prior to or while attending college
are better prepared to handle their personal finances and therefore
will be better borrowers. Successful repayment of student loans as
well as successful performance in dealing with other financial
matters will be key indicators in evaluating program
outcomes. back

What if my students
have already attended an on campus NSLP financial literacy
presentation, will it be beneficial to them to take the online
courses?
Yes. Since the students have already attended the course
presentation they have the option of completing exercises and
taking the final exam only or completing all course steps as a
refresher. Students are encouraged to take the other online courses
to learn about additional financial literacy topics. back

concepts. back

Will
this program meet requirements of the Department of Education's
default prevention program?
NSLP Financial Literacy
Online will not meet the requirements of having a default
